50 Best Pubs near Lafayette Hill

“Love the atmosphere! Good food, great service! Fun place to be and celebrate!“

“Every time I've been here the food and drinks have been excellent and very reasonably priced, The Service is always exceptional and very friendly. It's one of the best spots in the neighborhood. Also don't sleep on the French toast or the martinis.“

“Have been a couple times and had the excellent wings. This time I asked the bartender Emily for a non-wing suggestion and she mentioned the Southwest Chicken Panini. I went with that and was glad that I did. The habanero bacon jam was legit. Emily was very attentive even with the gradually growing crowd she had to pour for. Total rock star! Will definitely be coming back.“

“Great place, selection of spirits and the food is outstanding! Check out the bartender Eddie, that's my guy“

“Great food and friendly service. One of the best cheesesteaks I've had.

I came for lunch on a Sunday with my 11 year-old son, not realizing that smoking was allowed. Without my having to ask, our waitress offered to move us to the empty upstairs where we got to watch football and enjoy some great cheesesteaks smoke-free.“

“If you’re looking for a bar, this place is good not great. Plenty of tvs so there’s always something to watch, and there is a dart board, but the atmosphere outside of that was just… blank and bleak. Food was amazing tho, wings were great“

“Really like this place. Have been coming for a few months now. They make a good drink and the food is great. Love the chicken quesidillas! The staff is friendly and attentive. The size of the bar is really big, with lots of room for the tables, too.“

“We stopped in after work for a beer and a bite to eat. We are at the prime rib and the fish and chips. Both were cooked to perfection. Great service from the kitchen and bill a bartender.“

“If you want to just go and hangout with friends but not looking for any place special Graham's Pub is good. They have more beers and seltzer drinks then cocktails. You can get a simple drink like vodka soda, rum and coke, and Jim Beam but no fancy drinks. The food is pub style fries, wings and burger but its good fast and hot. So stop in have a conversation with the regulars, and play a round of corn whole outside.“

“The Pub is a cozy place to grab dinner and watch a game or hang with friends. The menu is amazing, like you were eating mom’s cooking. You always feel welcome by the hosts, servers and bartenders. Even when busy, they figure out a way to get you in. When you stop, you feel like family.“

“Castle Roxx is my go to stop. Every time I come I have a great experience. All of the bar tenders always are amazing and work so hard to make my experience the best in Manayunk. Eric and Vinny are two of my favorite bar tenders. They make even the slowest nights the most fun. I normally come during the week, as opposed to the weekends, and I never regret it.“

“Checked this place out after it was recommended to me by a friend, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the shrimp tacos, ahi tuna, cheesesteak egg rolls and chicken fingers for a table of three and were left happily full and dazed from how delicious everything was. Shout out to our wonderful server Josie, who was funny, polite and cheerful. Would definitely come back if I’m in the area.“

“Not a busy night but Jennifer gave us a late date that we could make and we reciprocated by sitting down upon arrival rather than enjoying some bar time.The entire staff worked together to make it feel unrushed, and we had a much needed relaxing meal in a family environment.“

“My friends & I (party of 10) met at Capone's on Sunday, March 24, 2024. We were set up in a room that made it very easy for us to talk with each other while we ate. The menu gave a lot of options for all of us, the service was outstanding, and we were not rushed. Most of us had never been there before, but we all agreed how much we liked it, & we plan to do it again.“

“very nice good service friendly staff“

Delish food, super friendly staff, welcoming diner! And clean. Keep it up Andy’s, great job. Lastly and most importantly…Vanessa/Miss V is the best. Wonderful service, Miss V!!! Thank you.“

“Real quick, reading these recent reviews I'm seeing some things that should be addressed as a consumer. No one is watering your drinks down here. That is absolute nonsense. It's not a hookah bar. What they are experiencing is called ice. Mind you, I'm no physicist or anything fancy like that but ice is frozen. When you put liquids on ice that are not at that temperature, the ice will melt. So drink faster or do shots. Trust me, no one is putting enough thought in to putting water in your tequila. This will be a long review but I did need to throw a couple of things out there. As to pricing, when you go to Center City Philadelphia, expect the prices to be higher than a local watering hole in Ohio. Location, location, location. I am a bartender only 2 blocks down the street from here. Be glad they are this affordable. If you come to my bar you will not be able to get any shot at all for less than $12. Jameson at my bar will cost you at least $15. Would you like a mixer or chaser? That's $3 more. At Finn's you'll pay $9 tops. Not to mention you'll probably get double what I'm allowed to pour. My cheapest beer? $8.25. That's for Bud Light. Would you like a Stella? $9.35. At Finn's I can get one of those Surfside vodka tea things for around $7 I believe. Really want to save money? Get a city wide. Shot and a beer for around $6. Don't expect variety. Please remember I only work 2 blocks away. Now that's out of the way I'll get to my own review.

To be completely honest, I used to hate this place. I've worked pretty close to here for the last 4 years but until about 3 months ago I had only come in twice. Those 2 visits were less than stellar. Each time I went with what you would consider regulars and I would stand for literally over 10 minutes trying to be served. I'd be patient but eventually move spots, wave, call out, whatever I could do to get their attention. Sometimes that didn't even work. When they did greet me, they were short and snappy. The 2nd time I had to get someone else to order for me. The only thing that made me keep trying then was Chris. He was always apologetic and honest about the situation. I always make it a point now to say hey to him.

About 3 months ago I had a 20 minute wait for a Lyft home from work and I was cold. So I said screw it, I'll try Finn's again. I'm so glad I did. Right when I came in, I was greeted. The bar was packed but that didnt matter. There was no sarcasm or bullshit, just him doing his job and doing it well. A great bartender can read their clientele. Do you want to talk or not? Are you celebrating or are you upset? Local or tourist? Matt read me absolutely right. He actually guessed where I worked and what I did. He made sure I was taken care of and did exactly what I needed at that moment. He didn't know me, didn't know if I'd even tip him but you would never think he was even thinking about that. I had just finished a 15 hour shift at my own bar and even though they were close to closing you would think he had just gotten there by his attitude. It was refreshing.

So I decided to go back a couple of days later. He remembered my name, which is not at all common, but my drink as well. I had a great time again so I decided to keep coming back if Matt was working. Now, in this short amount of time, when I come in after a long day I actually feel welcome. Denver, the security guard, knows my name and asks how my day is every time. If I go to the bathroom, he watches my bag and drink when he doesn't have to. He pays more attention to my stuff than I do. He makes sure I get in and out of the bathroom safely. He goes out of his way to make sure everyone in the bar feels safe.

I now know 2 Jeremy's I think. Lol. It's nice to see a place that I thought didn't give a damn make such a turn around. Clearly they got rid of some of the people that weren't attentive. So if you had a bad e“

“I come here fairly regularly with my running group. This a great neighborhood bar, the owner is awesome and super friendly. The food is also better than you'd expect for a dive bar, but it still has the dive bar charm. This is easily my favorite bar up the hill in Manayunk“

“Great atmosphere and dinner was delicious!“

“Hosted my 30th birthday party here and it was a blast! From the party planner, Brynn, to our private bartender, Tiff to management, everyone was amazing! They were all so accommodating and truly made it a special night for me. The back room is perfect for private events. Highly recommend.“

“Cool bar good spot to bring a crowd. I like this bar because I can play pool but it could be better. There is no chalk. Get a chalk board for people who want to play next. Also make sure you have hand chalk and chalk for the pool sticks forever. Never run out of chalk. Please get chalk. Thanks.“

“This was my first time visiting, and the staff was extremely pleasant. The food (pork chop with mushrooms, shrimp and veggie risotto, house pasta with shrimp and lump crab meat in vodka sauce, lobster bisque, even the Caesar salad ) was Delish. Would return for sure.“

“Great food and service. Patti was our waitress and was just fabulous.“

“Great wings and beer selection. Cool atmosphere during Red October. Great bartenders and food servers. All around outstanding local pub“

“What an awesome place an food👍“

“I enjoyed myself. I had a ball actually.. It was a quiet night. Barely anyone there. No problem 4 me. I like my space and strong drinks and music. In a clean environment is what makes me happy. Plus siren & Marvin was the cherries on top. That other brown skin guy became more highly disrespectful as the night went on. He claims to be the boss.“

“Great fun and good. Would recommend this establishment for anyone looking to meet good people and have fun“

“Not my first time here. Won’t be my last. Friendly happy atmosphere. Clean ! Servers smile and care about patrons who might not be in their area. Carla is so funny. The perfect people person. Service was excellent. Our meals after choosing from the vast menu was delish. Roast Beef Dip. Happy customers !“
